Love It!
Genuinely funny and charming. Deserves a much higher rating.
Game of Thrones: The Iron Throne (2019)
Deficient & Wanting
The final two episodes were very poorly written. Daenerys freed thousands from slavery, and when the masters attacked Mereen, she intelligently used three dragons to retaliate without damaging the entire fleet. More than half of the ships she sailed to Westeros with were secured from the masters' fleet, yet the masters did not surrender. Daenerys' unexpected torching of Kingslanding and the stemming genocide after the city surrendered is a shamless defilement of her character.
Tyrion led the defense of Kingslanding when Stannis attacked. He used wildfire to burn the invaders alive in ships, all as part of the war effort. Varys recognized and appreciated Tyrions effort multiple times. All of a sudden, Tyrion and Varys begin to criticize Daenerys for burning the Tally's who refused to bend the knee or take the black. They begin to question her state of mind and perceive her as a threat absent logical explanation, yet only briefly before she had abandoned the Southern war her self interest notwithstanding and rode North to fight the dead.
The writing to be honest was inconceivably lunatic, unexpected and deficient. A predictable ending would have had a better chance at solidifying this masterpiece as the greatest show of all time. It's a shame that the hardwork of all these great actors, directors and crew receives unanimous condemnation.
The Network should recognize the show's potential and salvage this situation perhaps by shooting a movie, a few more episodes or something to correct the mistakes the writers made in the last season. I don't know how they'll do it to be honest, but restorative action needs to be taken.
